Anne Bavin began her solo musical career as Sax And The Single Girl in
mid 1993. She worked largely in country WA until 1997 when she began
regular tours of the Northern Territory and North Queensland.
1997 also saw the release of Anne’s first CD simply tilted “Sax And The
Single Girl”. Since then she has recorded 8 CD’s and continues to tour
Australia wide.
Working seasonally, Anne heads North around April spending May mostly
in the Northern Territory. Resident work in Winton during June and July,
means spending time in Central Queensland, and she then heads to the
North Queensland coast where there are plenty of tourists between Airlie
Beach and Innisfail.
By October, with the North heating up, Anne has discovered the beauty
of Northern NSW and now spends a few months of the year there before
following the action further South over the summer months.
In her 500 plus song repertoire, and with a blend of tenor sax, alto sax &
vocals, Anne performs a huge variety of musical styles catering to all age
groups and situations.
PERFORMING TONIGHT and
TOMORROW NIGHT, 27-28 MAY
CLP Budget speech 2016-17 epitomised
an election manifesto blaming Labor be-
fore pushing out a promised surplus to
2019-20.
In reality the NT stands to lose $750 million in
reduced GST revenue by Canberra Liberal mates
and $250 million from shrinking mining royalties
and stamp duties.
CLP projected deficit of $174 million 2016-17
has exploded to $794 million on the back of $331
million spending, funds from the 99 year Darwin
Port lease.
In three years CLP Government public asset
sales of printing office, buses, TIO Insurance and
Darwin Port banked nearly $1 billion dollars now
all committed except $300 million in infrastruc-
ture development fund.
Essentially, Chief Minister Giles ‘sold the farm’
for new cash but alas not for long with a signifi-
cant increase in Territory debt pushing $2.7 billion
forecast topping $3.1 billion by 2019-20.
CLP Treasurer David Tollner delivering his last
budget cited the Northern Territory lowest cost
of living in the nation and lowest un-employment
rate in Australia clearly unfamiliar with Tennant
Creek and the regions.
I sat in anticipation as the Treasurer announced
$1 billion in education funding confident my
intense lobbying for Tennant Creek’s early child-
hood and pre-school infrastructure would appear
but again ignored by the CLP among $109.8
million announced for capital works targeting
schools.
Tennant Creek’s critical early year’s education
investment disregarded by the CLP is a disgrace
attributable to ‘pork barrelling’ Government mem-
bers fearing annihilation at the August election.
Budget Paper No 4 Infrastructure Program lists
Barkly transport investment on one line, strength-
ening six bridges on the Tablelands Highway a
joint Commonwealth - NT $7 million program
revoted from 2015!
Department of Transport 2015-16 re-voted
works equal $328,427,000 that is previously com-
mitted funds representing more than half Budget
2016-17 $589,612,000 programs exposing the
CLP desperate to spin big numbers.
After years lobbying high productivity beef,
mining and community roads the Sandover
Highway received $6 million over two years
including $1 million bitumen airstrip connector
road compared to CLP fiscal contradiction $16
million for Darwin tennis centre.
Chief Minister Giles demonstrates contempt
for Barkly promising $20 million for ‘sky walks’
across iconic Territory cultural and heritage sites
without any community consultation while health,
education, roads and housing share recurrent
government budget spending via creative writing.
Budget 2016-17 allocates $1 million establish-
ing a Remote Housing Development Authority
planning remote housing however Chief Minister
Giles neglects to inform Indigenous Territorians
his Government stalled delivery of national part-
nership houses by two years now using Labor
programmed funds but no Commonwealth Liberal
Coalition funding beyond 2018.
The CLP Treasurer concluded Budget 2016
manifesto citing a clear choice for Territorians
at the next election however it’s hard to trust the
CLP and even harder believing a word they say!
Labor Leader Michael Gunner responded to
CLP Budget 2016-17 outlining clear alternative
Government plans featuring definitive policy and
choice for Territorians at the August election.
